New U.N. Ebola Trust Fund Falls Far Short of Goal"The United Nations trust fund for Ebola has received barely one percent of the $1 billion that the world body says it needs to tackle the outbreak — and that too from only one country, Colombia, United Nations officials said Thursday.
It has received pledges of about $20 million from various governments, but only $100,000 in actual cash deposits.
Ban Ki-moon, the secretary general, had earlier told reporters that the trust fund, announced in mid-September, had received $20 million in cash. His aides later clarified that the $20 million amount referred to pledges, not cash.
“We need urgent global response,” Mr. Ban said.
The United Nations is separately rallying countries to contribute cash and in-kind contributions, from helicopters to protective gear, for the three most heavily affected countries in West Africa: Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone."

Should the Ebola Quarantine Be Longer Than 21 Days?
The quarantined family members of Thomas Eric Duncan are set to be released on Oct. 19, after having spent 21 days in isolation — the amount of time widely considered to be the maximum duration for Ebola incubation. But is that really long enough? New research from Drexel University, published in PLOS Currents: Outbreaks, suggests the answer may be no.
